He was the set-up man. I played Gabby at my room in Bakersfield. He stood there like a mummy between shots while I was at the table. Never said a word for hours (thus the name "Gabby") I was very impressed with his game. He gave me the seven on my home table and we played all day. He won one set (Races to Eleven) for $200. I could not imagine him being involved in such a scheme to rob elderly people who had money, but we never really know everything about someone, including those you've "known" for years.
Monster John moved the cueball more effortlessly than anybody I've ever seen, ball would just keep rolling forever. Can't remember if I knew his real name.
Haven't seen Brady in 25+ years, haven't been in Charlotte, so that might explain it lolHe's older now, but a black guy named "Brady", Brady Norris out of North Carolina is/was one of the best in the country at One Pocket!
You don't think a black man had extra challenges in the 1940s through 1960s?
Nope , look up the Lone Star Tour , he is winning like before lol !
Monster John was a monster, wow could he play! I was lucky enough to see him play a few times.
